My Four Cheese Mac and Cheese

I have several
recipes for Mac and cheese here at Welcome Home that are my go to recipes for
most occasions. So why did I choose this one for Easter? Because when you want
a really cheesy and creamy mac and cheese dish, this is the one. Absolutely
delicious!

In a medium saucepan melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over low heat. Add the
flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes. Increase the heat to
medium and whisk in the half and half a little at a time. Stir 3-5 minutes
while sauce thickens. Remove from the heat, season with the salt, pepper, dried
mustard, cayenne and 1/2 cup of the grated Parmesan. Stir until cheese is melted
and sauce is smooth. Cover and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a
boil over high heat. Add a generous amount of salt and then pasta. Cook for
about 5 minutes, until pasta is just slightly under cooked. Drain in a colander
and return the pasta to the pot you cooked it in. Add 2 tablespoons of the
butter and stir until melted and pasta is coated. Set aside

Grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter or non stick cooking spray. in a large
bowl mix all the remaining cheeses and toss lightly to blend. Place on-third of
the pasta in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Top with one-third of the
mixed cheeses. Top with another third of the macaroni and another third of the
cheese mixture. Repeat with the remaining macaroni and cheese mixture.

In a small bowl combine the Panko bread and a tablespoon of melted butter. Mix
with fingers until crumbs are moistened. Sprinkle over the top of the macaroni
and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees on center rack of oven for about 45 minutes
until cheese is hot and bubbly and topping is golden brown.
